what i noticed about Ratings compared to 2015 players:

batters - significantly better, beyond a doubt (excluding contact).

Starters - there seems to be ~50% more 51+ starters available (not enough to offset the offensive juggernauts created

relievers - there seems to be ~50% less 61+ relievers.

so you end up with +12% 2b, +16-20% hr , -9% 3b, -30% k's, and +6% bb.

all this amounts to a 4.60-4.90ish ERA and a .260-.280ish avg. with league total modifiers i found to match current 2015 players to recent performance. they are very similar to the default and they only account for a small portion of the increase. in fact i have higher k mod and lower bb rate by nearly +/-.060ish on both mods. and it doesn't slow it down much.

the walks, k's would be exagerrated quite a bit more with default settings.


i've simmed out to 2040 on 2 different occasions and both times had similar results. this time i noted how many players relative to some important ratings.

(the screenshots are in a zip if you want to look at the players that fit on first page. you may need to rename and fix the extension: .zip, .z01, .z02, .z03 instead of the "parts." this forum has some odd file restrictions lol.)
